INDIANAPOLIS — Marcus Armstong’s No. 11 Honda-powered car will come with all the usual trimmings for this weekend’s Indianapolis Grand Prix — speed, sponsors and a shiny new paint job.Chip Ganassi Racing announced Thursday that it has partnered with the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center and Schwartz Partners to field a crimson-and-cream, scientifically-based paint scheme that pays tribute to cancer patients.
It’s a message that hits home for Ganassi’s team and the 23-year-old driver from New Zealand, who made 12 starts last season. “It’s something that touches all of us,” Armstrong said. “When you’re watching a race, it’s a great way to distract yourself from things like this, but it’s also a good way to raise awareness. And once again, I feel like it’s close to our hearts because Barry was diagnosed last year and it was actually this race in August that he told me about it.”
